FM Files EP01 - Picking A Club

Football Manager Files

Deep insights into the role and life of a modern football manager, with contributions from some of the biggest names in the business. Part One - Picking A Club Here in part one of this series we look at the questions that face every manager setting out with a new club. How do you go about picking a club? Do you, as Sir Alex Ferguson once suggested, choose the owner, not the club? And once you're in, what are the first steps? How do you inspire a group of players and bring them together? Then, do you fit those players to your preferred formation, or devise a formation that suits their disparate talents? To find the answers to these and many other questions, Iain Macintosh draws on the experience and insight of a number of the biggest names in the business: Alex McLeish, Mick McCarthy, Chris Powell, Alan Pardew, Quique Sánchez Flores, Sam Allardyce, Stuart Pearce, Slaven Bili?, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Garry Monk.
